Endless Legend 2 Update 17 Rebalances Last Lords and Factions

Endless Legend 2 Update 17 recalibrates Last Lords technologies and district yields, adjusts custom faction traits, and resolves combat auto-select bugs.

A balance patch for Endless Legend 2 focuses on the Last Lords faction alongside custom faction traits and combat mechanics. Update 17 recalibrates technology outputs, district approvals, and improvement costs.

Last Lords Technologies

Saiadhan Inquisition now yields +2 Dust on Lord's Estate and a 25 percent bribe cost reduction, replacing its prior +5 Science and unit healing modifier. Thanatology no longer unlocks Dust Divination or grants +2 Science per Last Lord Estate. Penitent Shrine loses its +4 Dust modifier on the Soul Repository. Archimedias' Scroll shifts from +1 to +3 Influence per Last Lord Primordial and now unlocks the Dust Divination improvement.

Districts and Improvements

Lord's Estate grants +2 Dust and +2 Dust on adjacent districts, replacing the old per-dweller bonus. Soul Repository gives +10 approval per district level instead of +12 and drops its flat +12 approval bonus. Mineral Inquisition yields +2 Science per Last Lord Primordial on extractors down from +12 Science. Hydracorn Moonhollow's cost drops from 1750 Industry and 10 Hyperium to 750 Industry and 10 Glassteel while fixing its effect.

Custom Factions and Combat

The Relic Seeker custom trait no longer forces a turn-one capital placement. A combat bug that caused the auto-select next unit feature to deactivate skills has been patched, alongside technical issues with equipment and district failure scaling.

Why this patch matters

Update 17 dials back outlier yields for the Last Lords while clearing out mechanical bugs for custom faction setups.
